For 25 years, I have had the pleasure of standing at the helm of our wonderful school and it has been a privilege and joy to see so many pupils and staff grow. I have also had the hardship of leading us through some very difficult and challenging times – an armed siege, COVID, the loss of our beloved school through fire, the complications arising from building a new school from scratch. That said, I have been able to reflect each year to say that I have enjoyed every single year and have been proud of all we have managed to achieve.

However, after an awful lot of consideration and turmoil, I have made the decision to step away from the Headteacher role at Harrington Junior School from September. This has not a been a decision I have taken lightly, but I feel that it is the right time for me, personally and professionally.

I will continue to work with governors and the Local Authority to ensure a suitable new Headteacher is recruited and will support this person to settle into our amazing school in the first few weeks of September.
I personally wanted to share this news with you, before it becomes common knowledge.
Thank you for making my career at Harrington truly memorable.
